This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $123,550 awarded to the University of South Carolina, under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), supports research to develop new modeling techniques to predict shifts in the foraging patterns and spatial distribution of the endangered North Atlantic right whale in response to climate change. The key products of this 3-year project include: An integrated modeling framework that combines whale movement data, prey surveys, and genetic...
This $1,459,347 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) will fund a three-year effort by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries (MA DMF) and the Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) to manage, protect, and recover North Atlantic right whales in Massachusetts state waters and adjacent areas. Key activities include aerial and shipboard surveys to monitor right whale distribution and abundance,...
This $329,446 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to understand how ocean physics and animal social behaviors interact to drive predator-prey aggregations in the pelagic ocean. The project will focus on endangered blue whales and their krill prey, leveraging recent high-resolution observations of their behavior and physical oceanographic dynamics, as well as biophysical and evolutionary simulations. The...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $951,463.00, was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472). The award will be used by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute to coordinate federal, state, international, and private efforts to implement the Right Whale Recovery Plan. Key project activities include reducing ship collisions with right...
This $768,000 Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) supports North Atlantic right whale (NARW) recovery efforts in the Southeast U.S. (SEUS) over four years from September 2024 to August 2028. The key products and services to be delivered through this funding include: cooperating with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and partners to implement the NARW recovery plan, identifying and...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $440,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to the University of Maine System. The award, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2027, aims to fill data gaps and develop a roadmap for a more dynamic approach to North Atlantic right whale acoustic research in the Gulf of Maine. Key objectives include: Identifying, developing, and lab testing monitoring...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) focuses on understanding how changing environmental conditions, particularly rising ocean temperatures, will impact marine ecosystems and the availability of marine resources. The $738,152 award, effective June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2030, supports an integrated approach that combines physiological assays, community-level experiments, and numerical modeling to forecast the effects of temperature on...
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a $130,564.06 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472) to conduct summer and fall right whale surveys in Massachusetts waters from July 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. As the state agency recipient, the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game's Division of Marine Fisheries will deliver the key products and services for this award, which include biological surveys...
This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Unallied Science Program (CFDA 11.472), is aimed at building a near real-time modeling system to predict the density of the endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW) population along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. The $1,381,943 award to Duke University will support the development and testing of this system, which will link visual and acoustic observations of right whales with...
